Gates will open at 5:30 p.m.DGI Director Kay Moore said she heard Lewis perform and thought his style would be a good fit for Third Thursday.“I’ve heard Sam play on a couple of different occasions at the Back Forty Beer Company,” Moore said. “He’s just got a unique style of music that I enjoyed and I hope everybody else does, too. (It’s) just kind of a bluesy, soft, easy listening ... a pretty relaxing style that I think will fit in that venue very well.” Lewis, a native of Huntsville, began playing music at age 7, and at 12 began performing in his hometown.After taking some time off, he resumed performing occasionally around the Southeast, and resumed his music career on a regular basis after moving to Gadsden in 2010.The Water Wall, which is located between the Pitman Theatre and the Senior Activity Center, features tables, chairs and umbrellas. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Lawn chairs, coolers and food are allowed.The concert will be moved to the Pitman if there’s bad weather.
